The immediate pressure of necessity has brightened their intellects, enlarged their powers, and hardened their
hearts. And looking across space with instruments, and
intelligences such as we have scarcely dreamed of, they
see, at its nearest distance only 35,000,000 of miles
sunward of them, a morning star of hope, our own warmer
planet, green with vegetation and grey with water, with a
cloudy atmosphere eloquent of fertility, with glimpses
through its drifting cloud wisps of broad stretches of
populous country and narrow, navy-crowded seas,

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
